Stroke-Associated Pneumonia: Major Advances and Obstacles Tập 35 Số 5 - Trang 430-443 - 2013
Yousef Hannawi, Bashar Hannawi, Chethan P. Venkatasubba Rao, José I. Suárez, Eric M. Bershad
Background: Stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) has been implicated
in the morbidity, mortality and increased medical cost after acute ischemic
stroke. The annual cost of SAP during hospitalization in the United States
approaches USD 459 million. The incidence and prognosis of SAP among intensive
care unit (ICU) patients have not been thoroughly investigated. We reviewed the
pathophysi... hiện toàn bộ
European Stroke Organization Guidelines for the Management of Intracranial Aneurysms and Subarachnoid Haemorrhage Tập 35 Số 2 - Trang 93-112 - 2013
Kennedy R. Lees, Seppo Juvela, Andreas Unterberg, Carla Jung, Michael Forsting, Gabriël J.E. Rinkel
Background: Intracranial aneurysm with and without subarachnoid
haemorrhage (SAH) is a relevant health problem: The overall incidence is about 9
per 100,000 with a wide range, in some countries up to 20 per 100,000. Mortality
rate with conservative treatment within the first months is 50–60%. About one
third of patients left with an untreated aneurysm will die from recurrent
bleeding... hiện toàn bộ
Mannheim Intima-Media Thickness Consensus Tập 18 Số 4 - Trang 346-349 - 2004
Jean Dallongeville, Michael G. Hennerici, Stephen Meairs, Hadie Adams, Pierre Amarenco, Ryan T. Demmer, Shah Ebrahim, Marc Fatar, Rodríguez Hernández, Christine Espinola‐Klein, Patrizio Prati, Tatjana Rundek, Andrew J. Taylor, Natan M. Bornstein, László Csiba, Éric Vicaut, Kam-Sang Woo, Faı̈ez Zannad
Intima-media thickness (IMT) is increasingly used in clinical trials as a
surrogate end point for determining the success of interventions that lower risk
factors for atherosclerosis. The necessity for unified criteria to distinguish
early atherosclerotic plaque formation from thickening of IMT and to standardize
IMT measurements is addressed in this consensus statement. Plaque is defined as
a foc... hiện toàn bộ
New Approach to Stroke Subtyping: The A-S-C-O (Phenotypic) Classification of Stroke Tập 27 Số 5 - Trang 502-508 - 2009
Pierre Amarenco, Julien Bogousslavsky, L.R. Caplan, Geoffrey A. Donnan, Michael G. Hennerici
We now propose a new approach to stroke subtyping. The concept is to introduce a
complete ‘stroke phenotyping’ classification (i.e. stroke etiology and the
presence of all underlying diseases, divided by grade of severity) as
distinguished from past classifications that subtype strokes by characterizing
only the most likely cause(s) of stroke. In this phenotype-based classification,
every patient ... hiện toàn bộ
CT and MRI Rating of White Matter Lesions Tập 13 Số Suppl. 2 - Trang 31-36 - 2002
Franz Fazekas, Frederik Barkhof, Lars‐Olof Wahlund, Leonardo Pantoni, Timo Erkinjuntti, Philip Scheltens, Reinhold Schmidt
Rating scales play an important role in the evaluation of computed tomography
(CT) or magnetic resonance-detected white matter lesions (WML). Unfortunately,
this type of visual semiquantitative assessment is not yet an optimal tool
because commonly agreed concepts regarding its use are lacking. To generate a
discussion platform for further improvement of CT and MRI rating, we will
provide some bas... hiện toàn bộ
Cerebral Microbleeds: Histopathological Correlation of Neuroimaging Tập 32 Số 6 - Trang 528-534 - 2011
Ashkan Shoamanesh, Chun Shing Kwok, Oscar Benavente
Background: In recent years, there has been a growing interest in
cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) and their role in cerebrovascular disease. A few
studies have investigated the histopathological correlation between CMBs and
neuroimaging findings. We conducted a systematic review in an attempt to
characterize the pathological and radiological correlation. Methods: A
systematic literature ... hiện toàn bộ
Stroke-Associated Infection Is an Independent Risk Factor for Poor Outcome after Acute Ischemic Stroke: Data from the Netherlands Stroke Survey Tập 27 Số 5 - Trang 465-471 - 2009
Frédérique H Vermeij, Wilma J.M. Scholte op Reimer, Peter de Man, Robert J. van Oostenbrugge, Cees L. Franke, Gosse de Jong, Paul L.M. de Kort, Diederik W.J. Dippel
Background: Infections are a common and serious threat to patients with
acute ischemic stroke. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of
infection on mortality and functional outcome at discharge and at 1 year.
Methods: From a consecutive cohort study in 11 centers, the Netherlands
Stroke Survey, we selected 521 patients with ischemic stroke admitted to
hospital within 48 h o... hiện toàn bộ
The Fetal Variant of the Circle of Willis and Its Influence on the Cerebral Collateral Circulation Tập 22 Số 4 - Trang 217-224 - 2006
A. Fleur van Raamt, Willem P.Th.M. Mali, Peter Jan van Laar, Yolanda van der Graaf
In a fetal-type posterior circle of Willis (FTP) there is an embryonic
derivation of the posterior cerebral artery (PCA) from the internal carotid
artery (ICA). Besides the fact that a larger area is thus dependent on the ICA,
leptomeningeal vessels cannot develop between the anterior and posterior
circulation. The tentorium namely prevents cerebellar vessels from connecting to
the PCA territory. ... hiện toàn bộ
